Lois Henry on Californian Radio
By Lois Henry
Columnist Lois Henry is the host on Californian Radio Wednesday.
Henry will be talking about wind energy and the county's new wind resources map that's been causing a flap in the Tehachapi area. She'll also talk about a fledgling effort to break the cycle of domestic violence. The program is off to a successful start but needs the men of our community to step up and take it the rest of the way.
The show airs from 9 to 10 a.m. on KERN radio 1180 AM. To call in with a question or comment, dial 842-KERN.
